The performance happened at the Bikers Beer Factory in order to thank the fans that are helping him on his treatment there, since the musician couldn’t get the treatement in England and after many fundraising campaigns in the last years he ended up going to Croatia and getting treated with the help of fans.
Coincidentally the show happened one day before Iron Maiden’s show in Zagreb in May 22, that is their first conceret from their European tour.
According to Blabbermouth the images from the concert will be part of a documentary that is being directed by Wes Orshoski, who was the co-director and producer of the famous 2010 doc “Lemmy”, about the late Motörhead leader.
